Abstract

A delivery system for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty includes an angioplasty catheter to be sterilized or sterilized. The angioplasty catheter is held on one side on a flat carrier in one or more spiral turns. The angioplasty catheter has a hub at a predetermined proximal end section and at least one balloon at a predetermined distal end section. The carrier has an indentation in which the angioplasty catheter is accommodated. A method for manufacturing a delivery system includes the step of shaping and / or reshaping a flat carrier with an indentation and inserting an angioplasty catheter into the indentation.
